Udev - Won't boot [SORTED]

Having problems with the Gentoo Handbook? If you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place. All other questions go elsewhere.

Udev - Won't boot [SORTED]

Hi all.

How goes? Well? Good because it isn't for me, this is the 5th time I have installed Gentoo - great experience, but I decide to re-install it if only a single little thing goes wrong, silly me. Anyway this time I decided I would do the install with udev, so I installed idev like the guide explains, kernel settings and all, and then upon finishing the gentoo install and rebooting, I get my self some lovely errors, heres a little run down:

It gets to init
Mounts /proc etc
Then it starts mounting Sysfs on /sys and gives: Can't create lock file /etc/mtab~904: Read-Only filesystem (Use -n flag to over ride)

Then it goes onto mounting rams at /dev and configured udev - does this fine - at least says it does.

Then checks root file system:

Failed to open the device `/dev/hda3` no such file or directory

Then gives more errors:

Warning: fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/hda3 exited with Signal 6

/sbin/rc: line 250: rc_splash command not found

* filesystem couldn't be fixed :(

/dev/console: No such file or dir


Then allows me to do maintenance, enter pass, go in and ls /dev and all it shows is a few files including null but not console.

Hope someone has had this before and knows how to fix it so I can give it a check, if it works re-install Gentoo another time ;)

Got to love it, fast as hell and such as well developed distro.

Instead of useing /dev/hda3, which is a symlink that is created afterwards, use the direct long path to the partition of the disc, that is:

Code: Select all

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
